get the sack 

Getting fired from your job. Australians use this phrase a lot. Probably from the pioneer days when the boss would throw a bag at the farmhand/miner/builder/labourer's head, tell him to pack his stuff and get lost.
"Bloody hell, the boss gave me the sack!"

"Are you going to get the sack for skipping work yesterday?"

Get in the fuckin' sack 

A phrase intended to remind magical thinkers of the ridiculousness of their claims.

Irish comedian Dara O'Briain first used the phrase in his stand-up performances when talking about priests, astrologers, and the like. He said that he would put them all in a big sack, tie the sack up with string, and hit them all with sticks.

He then went on to say that when someone gives a facile answer to a difficult question, and that person is then asked to provide evidence, but replies with "There's more to life than evidence," the proper response to that magical thinker is "Get in the fuckin' sack."
Hey, what happens to us after we die?

Oh, the good people go to live with god, and the bad people suffer for all eternity.

What's the evidence for that?

It's in the Bible.

Get in the fuckin' sack.

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.
I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
